Yup. Taking breaks while I'm on break is something I perfected years ago. I used to be pretty good at the busy walk as well. That's just when you make it appear as if you're in a slow hurry to get somewhere, but you must have paper in your hand. If you don't have paper, people will think you're just walking, and not busy.

A clipboard or binder works better. Extra points if you are writing something on the clipboard or have a hint of a pensive frown, or both.
I once had a friend who went into management. He was always on some conference call or another; he would never be seen walking around the office without his wireless headset.
When he left the job, he finally decided to confide in me that about a third of the time, he wasn't even on the phone with anyone. Another third of the time, it was his wife.
Now that is a busy walk. He kept that going for years.
I'm having deja vu reading this comment. I'm almost certain we've had this conversation before except that time I didn't respond with how I'm experiencing deja vu. Or maybe we didn't have this conversation and now I'm just wasting your time? I don't know...
Yeah! We did. It's why I mentioned it.
You never waste my time. :)
